B.B. King & Tracy Chapman - The Thrill is Gone
I've always enjoyed Tracy Chapman. I figured out a while ago that she sings in a very traditional blues manner, but (and this is important) she sings it like a man. It really works well for her. And, of course, BB is, well, BB.

Meat Loaf - I Would Do Anything For Love
A lot of people complained about this song, the chorus specifically. They said it doesn't make sense: "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that." What is that, people would ask. Well, it's whatever was said right before that line - it's fairly obvious.

Shona Laing - (Glad I'm) Not A Kennedy
I actually prefer Soviet Snow as a song, but the video for it BITES. Besides, I like the reference, given how few Kennedys there are left.

Jacques Brel - Ne Me Quitte Pas
Jacques Brel was, quite simply, one of the greatest song writers of all time, in any language.

However, the absolute desperation and desolation on Jacques' face in this video should give you enough meaning.
